In the last two days we have had several small earthquakes and two bigger ones. On Thursday, in the afternoon our house started to shake and the cupboards were rattling. Barry and Tony have never felt an earthquake before. It was a 4.1. Then, on Friday night at about 11:30pm, Barry and I were watching T.V. in bed when the whole house started shaking again and rattling and then some major rolling. This time I was scared. It was a bigger earthquake, a 4.7. My heart was beating so fast. I have felt some smaller earthquakes in Las Vegas that have gotten me out of bed but nothing that scary. Reno is supposed to have a really big earthquake sometime in the future but they don't know when it will happen.
OK, now for some baby news. My last appt. showed that I still have protein in my urine, which is bad. It means that my preeclampcia is showing more signs that I am sick. I had to do another 24 urine collection and turn it back to the lab. I will know the results on Monday at my next dr.s appt. I have been warned that I could be back in the hospital for week 34 and they might deliever the babies this next week. They would have to start me on steroids to help the babies lungs grow faster. I am a little scared and excited to see the babies. The doctors always play the balancing game with me. They have to weigh the pros and cons on whether to keep the babies in me for two more weeks or take them earlier. It all depends on how my health goes. I feel fine, because what I have doesn't hurt me.
Here are some pictures from the last week that I needed to download. Enjoy!!!
Here is one of the cribs from Rose and Dave Lee. Tony got us the baby mattress. I have the baby bag all ready to go to the hospital. Now, we have both cribs put together in our bed room, but still need to get one more mattress and sheet set.

A close up shot of Chantrell's side of the crib. The girls will have their own cribs to sleep in but I have a feeling that they will have lots of sleepovers in one crib or the other. They will probably want to be together for comfort.
Brenna's finished Christmas stocking. It took me all of February to finish this project.
Chantrell's finished Christmas stocking. I finished hers in 3 weeks in April when I was on bed rest. I am so happy that I finished them before the babies are born.
Picture of my swollen feet. Yuck!!!
Barry playing on the computer and watching T.V. at the same time. This is his favorite pastime.
Beautiful blooms on our neighbors tree. I love all the colors on the trees in the spring. Pretty soon there will be green leaves on the trees.
Another pretty tree with white blooms.

Wow!! Earthquakes, protein in urine, swollen feet, okay...you win. I was going to complain about my life, but now it pales in comparison. I'm no longer watching the little girl whose mother asked if I could wait until the 21st to come to see you and the babies, she was a biter at 4 years old, and the other parents were fed up and thinking about pulling their kids. So, whenever you deliver those babies, I can come :) I love all your pictures, the crib is so cute all set up and waiting, the stockings turned out fantastic and the flowering trees are so pretty. Ours bloomed in Feb-March. We're in the 90's now, yuck. Keep us posted, love Deb
Looks like you are having the same weather as us because our trees in the valley look the same. It is really pretty when everything comes in bloom. Our temp rarely gets over 65. Liv is going to love having more cousins born around her bday! Hers is in 15 days on May 12th. I hope the babies come at the best time for them and you. Good luck with everything this week. You will never forget the experience. It is all so emotionally exciting! Love ya!
Oh Shelly! Everything is so cute for the babaies and your tummy is ginormous! but, thats great, that means the babies are growing big and healthy. Your poor feet, I bet you will be so happy to finally have those two little rascals and get back to normal. All that getting sick stuff sounds really scary-try to hang in there, the last few weeks are always the hardest..It will be over soon. By the way, you did a fantastic job on those stockings!! I am totally impressed. They are beautiful. Maybe I will do one for Zoey after all. Looks like everything is set, ready and waiting. Now come on little babies...your Mama is waiting. Love Jenn
